Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

A true pioneer of the appellation's qualitative revival, this estate boasts a variety of terroirs which it uses to create blends that balance finesse and structure. The wines are of the highest quality, and are constantly improving. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain-biking tours around the estate to discover their terroir and the flora and fauna of the region. Well worth the detour! An excellent estate with a few exceptional plots of old vines, producing consistent, discreet wines that win us over every year.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)

About the domain :

François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced the first bottlings from his family's vineyards (65 ha certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursulines de Beaucaire convent until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century fire tower overlooking the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple propose to discover all facets of the estate via an unmarked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated (2018 guide) 14.5/20 + Coup de Coeur (Good wine)

About the wine:

Terre de Feu 2015 has a supple texture and a nose more peppery than fruity. A wine to drink on this youthful fruit, even if a certain bitterness reappears.
